Scientific Field Trip "Modrič Cave - where the adventure meets science"

Although the cave was only discovered in 1985, it has once been known to man - human bone remains and remnants of Neolithic pottery were found inside, along with remains of Quaternary fauna, including cave bear (Ursus spelaeus).

Modrič Cave is one of the most investigated caves in Croatia, and from 1985 on, different scientific studies have been conducted (from the point of geology, geomorphology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, palaeoclimatology, radon concentration, corrosion rate etc.), and some of them are currently running.

After the 35 minutes drive from Zadar, there is 10 minutes easy walk to the cave entrance. The two hour tour is preceded by a safety briefing and the outfitting with caving gear including overall, helmet and headlamp. Within the cave you will spend two unforgettable hours. The cave is completely decorated with speleothemes and after just a few smaller but short passages you will be in spacey and high chambers. The temperature is 16 °C year around.
